You may not realize you are pregnant until well into your first trimester. During this period your body is dealing with many hormonal changes. Fatigue Nausea Vomiting Mood swings Tender and/or swollen breasts Heartburn Headaches Weight gain or loss Need to urinate more often One, all or none of these symptoms may be experienced and if this is not your first pregnancy, the symptoms may be completely different! Nausea is the most common issue during the first trimester which can be helped by eating small, low fat meals and drinking plenty of water. Since 1987 the month of March is designated to commemorate Women's History Month, which is in celebration of the vital roles women have played in American history! So to celbrate I thought I would post a number of sites that list but a few major achievements for which Women are credited. Enjoy and hopefully this will give everyone additional inspiration to continue to break those ridiculous glass ceilings, that are unfortunately still societally present!

As I am sure you are aware, the visiting of a health care professional for medical or dental care was only permissible for chronic conditions or preventive services. As announced April 29th in Governor Newsom's phased reopening plan, and subsequently sanctioned locally; Healthcare providers will now be able to reschedule appointments canceled for all non urgent care at the time of the Public Health Order issuance. This change also includes elective and preventative procedures such as general care and immunizations. We look forward to seeing you, while ensuring you utmost care and safety.
